Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I use Mandrake 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2 RPMs on Mandrake 10.0 and don't usually have problems. Of course, I prefer to use MDK 10.0 rpms, but the reality is that the file system, config, and general set up of the distro between thouse 4 releases hasn't altered all that much. The only time you're likely to run into problems is when you're trying to use an RPM from a different distro -- usually then the way the disrto is put together varies such that you have all sorts of dependancy issues.

Likely the majority of Fedora Core 1 RPMS will work fine, with the exception of a few.
